objective(s):mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) derived from wharton’s jelly (wj-mscs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. hence, wj-mscs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. materials and methods: mscs were isolated from human wharton’s jelly and treated with bmp4, retinoic acid (ra) or co-cultured on human...

background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of ...

The meiotic chromosomes of 3 bulls carrying the 1/29 Robertsonian translocation have been studied. The abnormal chromosome was found in the spermatogonial mitotic divisions of the 3 animals studied. At the diacinesis stage, the trivalent presented several types of association. Chromosome counting of metaphases II showed the presence of 30.2 p. 100 of unbalanced karyotype cells due to excess or ...
